Click to access digital title.     Series Title: A Mirabelle Bevan Mystery.Summary Note: In 1950s England, a debutante disappears from a Soho jazz club, pulling a pair of sleuths into a seedy underworld, in this "series that deserves a long run" (Booklist). In the years following World War II, former Secret Service employee Mirabelle Bevan can't seem to resist an attraction to danger and a thirst for justice . . . The mysterious disappearance of eighteen-year-old debutante Rose Bellamy Gore, last seen outside a Soho jazz club in the company of a saxophone player named Lindon Claremont, has the London tabloids in a frenzy. When Lindon turns up in Brighton desperately seeking help, Mirabelle counsels him to cooperate with the authorities. But after the local police take the musician into custody and ship him off to Scotland Yard, Mirabelle and her best friend, Vesta Churchill, decide to take matters into their own hands. After hopping a train to London, Mirabelle and Vesta scour smoky jazz clubs searching for clues to the deb's disappearance. What they find is a sinister underworld where the price of admission can be one's life. Mirabelle will need to draw on her espionage skills to improvise her way out of a disappearing act of her own . . . Praise for the writing of Sara Sheridan and London Calling "Mirabelle Bevan's second case takes her into the divided worlds of underground jazz clubs and missing debutantes. As a British historical mystery, this fits the bill." — RT Book Reviews "An extraordinarily rich historical." — Publishers Weekly "Great fun. The world needs Mirabelle's feistiness, intelligence, and charm." —James Runcie, author of the Grantchester mysteries.
